British create a petition to keep Piers Morgan in U.S.

After a petition to deport the pro-gun control CNN host gains momentum, a counter-petition emerges

A petition calling to deport pro-gun control CNN host Piers Morgan back to England has easily surpassed the 25,000 that requires a response from the White House. Started on Friday in Texas a few days after Morgan called gun advocate Larry Pratt “an unbelievably stupid man”, the petition accuses Morgan of engaging “in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution” and wants to deport him “immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”

More than 70,000 people have signed the petition. But what if the UK doesn’t want him back?
